Not to rain on anyone's parade, but if "we" are really going to organize "thosands of dollars in "useless" software, hardware, and documentation, I'd sorta rather see it go to technical programs at schools and such than "random" individuals that happen to be on PICLIST. Postage is a problem - even shipping things within the US can run larger amounts of "real money" than the equipment is worth. International shipping ought to be even worse. one-at-a-time and rather minor contributions are fine, of course... BillW -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
